Back Problems - Best Cars to buy?
Since having the new car my back problem have got to an almost unbearable level.
Do anyone know a good comfortable car with plenty of back support, I am 6ft 2inches so need plenty of room, or can you buy a of change the seat in the Golf I currently drive.
Any help would be greatfully appreciated (I am currently attending physio, osteopathy and have all the proper lumbar support for my seat)
Answers:
A standard car seat, whatever the make is always a compromise. The ideal seat for you would be one sculpted to your body shape, height, weight, etc. Certain makes i.e. Mercedes S-class offer a special back-support seat for your situation as an option. This has infinite adjustability in all regions with different cushions pushing in/out along it's entire stretch.
You should contact Volkswagen customer service and explain your situation and findings with the car. They have a legal obligation to help you, otherwise they may get sued for aggravated discomfort and pain, possibly worsening of present condition, etc, etc.
Failing all above, you can purchase a special seat and here there is really only one name to count on - ISRINGHAUSEN. There is just no other to match. Their expertise ranges from full suspension seats for off-highway equipment with no suspension right down to child seats. VW may well be able to supply and fit one at a much reduced price. Hope this helps and good luck. I know exactly what you are going through from own experience.
I've just changed from a Citroen Picasso, to a Mondeo,,,the Citroen was very comfortable for my bad back,,,
don't buy a ford ka.my mistake. but can be partly remedied by a gppd lumbar support
Most of the new large Volvos have brilliant seats. They also have the advantage of protecting your back, neck and head very effectively in a bump or crash.
A lot of French cars are comfy. I tried out an old Laguna the other week, and it was more like sitting on a sofa than sitting in a car. Nice, if you don't mind driving a Frenchie.
i suffer with my back also.found i don't suffer so bad since buying a automatic model.my one has seat height adjustment also so i can seat high and straight
renault scenic,citroen piccaso,focus cmax they all have a better driving position thats why you find a lot of them used as mobility cars
Try a Fiat Multipla. There is sooo much room in them. The seats are very comfortable especially the drivers seat which is fully adjustable in every direction.
Also, I happen to have one for sale. Contact me if you are interested.
